billick coached the #1 offense and went on to win a super bowl with a strong defense

dungy coached the #1 defense and went on to win a super bowl with a strong offense

not sure if gruden ever coordinated a #1 unit... but he won a super bowl with a big defense, while he was an offensive coach

rivera had #1 defenses and is now coaching a team with a much better O than D

uhhhhh

Tampa's D was ranked #1, and Dungy was the coach the year before, Sapp said that all Gruden did was take Dungy's cake out and put the icing on...

But, their Superbowl win against the Raiders, the Raiders had the #1 O and the Bucs had the #1 D...Gruden coached the Raiders the year before

Yep. All four were known as specialists on one side of the ball, but coached teams that were better known for the other side.

The three coaches named all won Super Bowls with those teams relatively early in their career. Gruden in his first year with the Bucs, Billick in his second with the Ravens, and Dungy in his fifth with the Colts.

Rivera's only had one year as a head coach, but in that year the team was better known for offensive prowess than for Rivera's specialty of defense. Can Rivera have similar early success in the years to come? Time will tell.

Kudos. I thought it'd take longer for someone to get it :thumbsup:

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
